I brought in my water and my ph was to high. I bought the treatment and it’s getting better <3 (I realized also I have build up on the sides so that will be my next investment)… thanks guys :) (off to work :)
Question, I’m a beginner and don’t have a RO/DI machine yet. What should I top off my saltwater aquarium with water that has evaporated? Treated water where I add some drops of water conditioner or distilled water?
Our city treats our tap water with chloramine. Unfortunately my RODI system does not filter out chloramines. Is conditioner okay or do I need to purchase a chloramine canister and add it on?
I F0<43D up BIG time!!!!! First time in my reefing journey I want to cry 😭 I’m usually super careful with my water changes. Test refill water and tank before and test tank after. I woke up early this morning and tried to do a water change before work. Suggestion: NEVER DO THAT 😭 I would have sworn up and down that my salt container was mixed and ready to go two days ago. I have NO IDEA what happened or if I’m just losing my mind. I just did a 20% change with RODI 🫠🫠 then. I panicked. Added dry salt to the tank. Because ya know… you can’t make one mistake. Have to compound them. My initial change dropped 1.025 to 1.020. Added about 5 cups of salt to my display 😭 then realized I’m an idiot and added two more to the filter sock.
I waited last minute and washed all my filter socks yesterday and am now going sockless on the sump while they air dry outside for a few days. I washed them with a cap full of bleach and ran them through an extra rinse. Would it be okay to rinse one out with RO water to get any chlorine out so I can put one back in the sump or not a good idea?

Can you add salt directly out of the bag to your tank?

Store only has purified rather than distilled water, will it be okay to use for my water change?
Hello guys does anybody use this water?

My tank is running HOT 🥵
Adding some RODI ice cubes to the sump to slightly cool the tank
